When I set a Launch Image , Xcode creates a copy as Default.png and

0

When I set a Launch Image, Xcode creates a copy as Default.png and creates an entry in my plist in Icon Files (iOS 5) / Primary Icon / Icon Items --> Item 1 : Default.png

Item 0 : MyIcon.png is the app icon which I have already placed through the Target.

The reason this is a problem is that the launch image then takes precedence over the actual icon and as a result, it shows as the primary icon instead of my actual icon image.

Why is Xcode doing this?
Can I safely delete the Default.png entry from my .plist? (this seems to fix the problem)
Do I need to copy Default.png somewhere else?

Thanks!
